I choose not to respond to this commenter, waste of my brain time.

Actually one only has to see his/her/their name and know to ignore the post.

Ed, it occurs to me that, paradoxically, you did comment! Silence might be your best course of action.

yes, I understand that, but I have tangled with him before, and wanted to make an announcement this time. Silence can be construed many ways which might miss my point. Thanks for pointing this out!

Ed,

The starting point for my assessment is this quote from "The Nation":

"These stories of UkraineтАЩs dark nationalism arenтАЩt coming out of Moscow; theyтАЩre being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity."

Yeah, he wrote some word salad to me. Refused to acknowledge. Ignore.
